LED bulbs - why not mandatory or subsidised

Gradually changing over as B&Q have stopped selling the non-LED version of the majority of bulbs. Problem is, just the hallway upstairs and downstairs, vestibule and kitchen consist of around 34 big bloody spotlights. Not a mansion or anything just poor choice when the house was built. So just the bulbs for there are anywhere from £180-£250. Then add in bulbs in dining, lounge etc and it gets stupidly expensive.

You have my sympathies. Our house is an older house. We have had it some 25 years now. We resisted the urge to put spots everywhere and its quite an older fashioned arrangement. Thing is though that means that the ceiling fittings are not excessive.
The bathrooms for example are simple older type glass fittings. So nothing like the amount of bulbs you have to change. And the thing is it looks classic not dated. I know people who are removing the multiple spotlights/ downlights they have in theirs.
Trends eh !

Last time I got from B&q as its just up the road from me. Pretty sure these are the right ones but hard to tell without one in front of me Online says £12 a pack of two for Diall ones. "diall E27 13W 1335LM...." product code 3663602668527

Will be handy finding a job lot or bulk discount like but found it surprisingly tricky finding the right bulbs elsewhere!

Hi Rod
Genuine question if you have a Home Bargains look in on them

Yeh, cos anything the guberment sticks it paws in is so damn efficient aye?

I mean you can already buy led bulbs for like 80p...

Where from?

And how do you get the millions who don’t seem to realise they exist to buy them?

In the meantime our lifestyles are being forcibly changed to save less CO2 than changing over to LED bulbs.

We use the cheap Tuya smart bulbs in table lamps. They’re only really for things permanently plugged in I otherwise it’s overridden by a switch and gets confusing.
They work really well though
